Well yeah. Because at any moment, the gorilla could have killed the child. Shooting the parents would have solved what? It's part the zoos fault for this even being easy enough for a four-year-old to do, and partly the mothers fault for not paying attention to her child long enough for him to get into a cage with a beast.
Though, shooting the gorilla was probably the sanest way to exit the situation with the least possibility for human endangerment. Bad situation is bad, but dead kid is a lot worse than dead gorilla in the headlines.
